Milkmaid braid

A plain, unornamented milkmaid braid is enough of a hairstyle outing for most people. But for a creative designer mind like Erin Fetherston’s, there’s a little more to be done with it.

Entwined with strands of rope and secured with many a pin into a roll at the back, it’s a braid that – especially when paired with floating white pleats – ends up feeling more Midsummer Night’s Dream than it does milkmaid.
